GENERAL JUSTO, ANDAR RIO DE JANEIRO-RJ 15 DEC dpln1@decea.gov.br AFS: SBRJYGYO TEL.: (21) ASSINATURA.: (21) TEMPORARY AIRSPACE CHANGES TO THE BRAZILIAN AIRSPACE FOR THE RIO 2016 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES 1 PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS 1.1 PURPOSE This Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC) aims at publicizing the temporary changes to the Brazilian airspace during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as the general and specific procedures to be followed by pilots-in-command and air traffic control (ATC) units under the Brazilian Airspace Control System (SISCEAB) during the event. 1.2 SCOPE This document applies to all those who, in the performance of their duties, come to use the Brazilian airspace during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. 1.3 INTRODUCTION The growth of air traffic movements expected during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games signals the need for promptness and efficiency in the provision of air traffic services (ATS) and air traffic flow management (ATFM). A big event brings in new demands and increases the need for planning, making it imperative to maintain safety, security, efficiency and fluidity, aspects already present in the provision of these services. The work to achieve the desired excellence begins with the careful execution of an extensive, clear, objective and feasible planning, in order to ensure maximum performance of ATS, ATFM, flight operations safety and the Brazilian airspace management, thus minimizing the potential impacts arising from the expected increase in air traffic during the event. For decades, Brazil has been consolidating a leading position in air traffic management (ATM), not only investing in new equipment and facilities, but also developing its own processes, with emphasis on specialized training and on the efficient and flexible integration of modern management concepts. The country has the responsibility to manage its territorial airspace (8,511,965 km²) and the airspace over its oceanic area, which extends to the meridian 10 W, a total of 22 million km². In this airspace, there are several activities taking place at the same time, such as international and domestic commercial flights, private air service, public specialized air service, air taxi, general aviation flights, chartered flights, civil aviation training, military training and

2 exercises, military operations, remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), flight tests, as well as air sports activities. The quality and efficiency in the use of the airspace will also be maintained during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, thanks to the work of many sectors, including the Air Force Command (COMAER). On behalf of COMAER, the Department of Airspace Control (DECEA) planned a set of actions for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which focused on the safety and the maintenance of a fast and orderly air traffic flow. Meanwhile, the Brazilian Airspace Defense Command (COMDABRA) developed a meticulous plan of the necessary actions for airspace security. In order to implement these plans, the Air Navigation Management Center (CGNA), under the command of DECEA, prepared another plan of action considering the increase in traffic demand and the constraints imposed in some areas of the airspace. The topics of these plans of action comprise airspace structure and capacity, expected demand, technical infrastructure, appropriateness of legislation, regulations and procedures, security and defense, and specialized training. This is not the first time COMAER develops a plan to manage the air traffic flow in a big event. During the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20), the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, the 2013 World Youth Day, and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the Air Force Command had a successful and acclaimed performance by using a military concept and structure for a non-military event. This concept has been successfully used by CGNA in all the previous events and will be repeated in the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. By the experience gained in hosting all those events, Brazil will leave a rich legacy in terms of security, safety and efficiency - which are already the basis of our work. 2

5 Following the safety and security criteria adopted in world events and considering the importance of Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics Games and the maintenance of the level of air traffic service provided, COMAER created exclusion areas (RESERVED, RESTRICTED, or PROHIBITED) in certain portions of Brazilian airspace with different sizes and levels of access. The criteria adopted for the creation of these exclusion areas were safety, security, and operational impact, among others. The safety and security of the general public, athletes, officials, aircraft and units -- as well as a constant concern to reduce operational impacts for airspace users -- guided the location, size and levels of access of those areas. Entry clearance in the segrated airspaces depend on the nature and the intentions of the flight, such as aircraft transporting officials, delegations, domestic and/or international regular commercial aircraft, general aviation, military flights, air defense, transportation of personnel and/or equipment (civil or military), police aircraft, search and rescue (SAR) aircraft, and air ambulances. The exclusion areas are located in the lower airspace of the Flight Information Regions (FIR) and within the Terminal Control Area (TMA) of locations where official Olympic and Paralympic Games competitions will occur, i.e. BELO HORIZONTE, BRASÍLIA, MANAUS, RIO DE JANEIRO, SALVADOR, and SÃO PAULO. The duration of these restrictions will be determined by the official start of the games, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is important to highlight that the duration of the restrictions varies according to the game. This means that the same host city may have different restriction schedules according to the events it is hosting. 4 DEFINITIONS OF EXCLUSION AREAS 4.1 RESERVED AREA Area named WHITE, existing in all cities involved in the event, in which specific rules for using the airspace are applied, so ATC units can identify every air movement in it, thus increasing the security level. 4.2 RESTRICTED AREA Area named YELLOW, located within the WHITE area, existing in all cities involved in the event, allowing only specific air movements which meet the the Airspace Defense Authority criteria. 4.3 PROHIBITED AREA Area named RED, located within the YELLOW area, existing in all cities involved in the event, permitting the exclusive access of aircraft involved with the event, under strict permission of the Airspace Defense Authority. NOTE: Please refer to the Appendix of this document for the vertical and horizontal limits of the exclusion areas, their centers with the respective radius and lateral and vertical limits, as well as days and times of activation. 5

However, they should adopt the procedures that follow: 1. To be previously subjected to the COMDABRA flight authorization process; 2. To deliver a briefing with the suitable ATC unit, at least one hour before the beginning of the alert or warning period; 3. To inform COMDABRA Air Operation Cell in the hosting city about the mission start, describing the profile of the flight to be performed; and 4. To take off only after being authorized by the COMDABRA Commander and by the suitable ATC unit. Aircraft that do not comply with such regulations and enter the RED AREA without authorization by the COMDABRA Commander will be considered UNFRIENDLY, being subject to the MPEA. 6 PRESENTATION AND APPROVAL OF THE FLIGHT PLAN 13

14 In order to perform a flight in the WHITE, YELLOW, or RED areas (departures according to the Appendix), in the period they are activated, the aircraft must be listed in the updated repetitive flight plan schedule (RPL) or file a complete flight plan in the aeronautical information service (AIS) office at least 01h30min (ONE HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES) prior to the activation of the exclusion areas. The above-mentioned deadline also applies to ATS movement messages (DLA, CHG, and CNL). This deadline aims to keep the predictability of the flight intentions during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Regarding the complete flight plan, it is compulsory to inform the take-off alternate aerodrome, the en-route alternate aerodrome, and the destination alternate aerodrome, as per current legislation. In the case of the RPL, those alternate aerodromes must be informed to the ATC units. The Command and Control Master Room, located at CGNA, is responsible for monitoring the flights. It is also responsible for the coordination with COMDABRA, with the main military operation units, with the local operation cells, with the ATC units and with the AIS rooms. If necessary, the Command and Control Master Room can interfere in the approval process of a flight plan, authorizing, suspending or cancelling it, even if all the legal procedures have been followed. CGNA retains the right to deny the flight intentions that do not comply with the event operational requirements and those that can cause imbalance on the control sectors of any Terminal Control Area (TMA) or Flight Information Region (FIR) or yet those exceeding the declared capacities of the airports concerned. Aircraft that do not have an ATC SLOT code, in case they intend to take off from or land at coordinated airports and do not conform to the maximum expected limits for their flights, or do not present the ATS messages listed in the current legislation are going to have their flight plan canceled. In such case, a new flight plan must be filed. 7 INSTRUMENT DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL PROCEDURES The activation of exclusion areas is going to cause restrictions on landing and departure operations at some host cities airports, as per the Appendix. Only the aircraft authorized by the COMDABRA Commander are going to operate at the aerodromes during the period mentioned. The current instrument departure and arrival procedures are not going to be suspended and/or canceled, despite the restrictions imposed by the activation of these areas. Special departure and arrival procedures have been designed, as seen in the tables below, for SBSP, SBGR, SBGL, and SBRJ and include the deviation necessary to avoid the exclusion areas. The special procedures will be valid until 20 Sep 2016, at 23:59 UTC. 14

The interest and availability of the airport administrator, distance from the host city, existing infrastructure in the vicinity of the airport (access roads, traffic flow, quick access to state and federal highways), airport capacity (number of vacancies for regular domestic and 16

17 international aviation, general aviation and military aviation involved in the event), runway complex (length of runways, taxiways, resistance of the runway pavement, and parking area), and air traffic services (navigation aids, air traffic control, meteorology, communications, aeronautical information service, departure and arrival procedures) are essential for the provision of quality service to our visitors during the days in which the official events of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games will take place. Below are presented the destination and alternate aerodromes along with their respective vocations (aviation segments) in each host city: BELO HORIZONTE Olympic and Paralympic Games Rio 2016 Designator VIP International Domestic General Destination aerodromes Confins Pampulha SBCF SBBH Alternate aerodromes Brasília Guarulhos Campinas Ribeirão Preto Montes Claros Uberaba Uberlândia Carlos Prates Ipatinga Juiz de Fora SBBR SBGR SBKP SBRP SBMK SBUR SBUL SBPR SBIP SBJF 17

20 9 COORDINATED AERODROMES In order to manage the growth of air movements during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, CGNA will coordinate the airports chosen by the Presidential Chief of Staff and Civil Aviation Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic (SAC/PR), in conjunction with the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), depending on the type of operation and airport infrastructure involved. The coordination of an airport is a methodology that consists in establishing predetermined time intervals, named ATC SLOT, for the landing and departure operations of all aircraft operating at the airport, with the purpose of regulating the use so that the operational capacity is not exceeded. Thus, it is possible to maintain the efficiency in the provision of aeronautical and airport infrastructure services, according to the limitations of the runway, apron and terminal (boarding and disembarkation, domestic and international). When an airport is declared coordinated, it means that all flight intentions will be conditioned to the acquisition of a landing or departure ATC SLOT. The airport coordination will happen from 19th July 2016 to 23rd September 2016, and may vary from airport to airport, depending on the number of sporting events. ANAC will allocate ATC SLOT for commercial regular flights (domestic and international), commercial non-scheduled flights (domestic and international), and flights of delegations. SAC/PR, in turn, will be responsible for the allocation of aircraft transporting Heads of State, Heads of Government, and VIP, as considered by the Brazilian Government. CGNA will be responsible for allocating aircraft that perform private and public specialized air services, as well as for air taxi. To register and know the procedures for obtaining an ATC SLOT, the user of private and public specialized air services and air taxi should consult the specific AIC or visit the CGNA home page on the INTERNET at and click on the link SLOT. The following aerodromes will be declared coordinated throughout the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games: SBBH; SBBR; SBCF; SBGL; SBGR; SBKP; SBRJ; and SBSP. The following aerodromes will be monitored throughout the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games and, depending on demand, may be declared coordinated: SBAE; SBAQ; SBAR; SBBE; SBBV; SBCB; SBCN; SBCP; SBCT; SBEG; SBGO; SBIL; SBIP; SBJF; SBME; SBMK; SBMO; SBMT; SBPR; SBPV; SBQV; SBRF; SBRP; SBSJ; SBSN; SBSR; SBSV; SBUL; and SBUR. 10 GROUND TURNAROUND TIME Through ANAC, in accordance with the Airport Administrations, SAC/PR will establish the maximum turnaround time on the ground in the airports involved in the event, in order to improve the air operations flow in the installed infrastructure. The Aircraft Operators and/or holders who do not comply with the established time limits will be subject to the expected regulation sanctions. 20

21 Ground turnaround time, as well as all the information related to the coordination of the aerodromes involved, such as coordination period, time period, ATS clearances, possible alternate aerodromes, among others, will be published by means of Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) specific to each aerodrome involved. 11 TRANSPONDER USE The transponder is the primary means of identification for traffic flying in the airspace throughout the air operations. Thus, only the flights with the functional equipment on board are going to be authorized. Aircraft without the transponder equipment are not going to be authorized inside the exclusion areas. During the time when the exclusion areas are activated, all special routes for aircraft without transponder (REAST) will be suspended. 12 AIRCRAFT AND HELICOPTERS SPECIAL ROUTES Aircraft Special Routes (REA) and Helicopter Special Routes (REH) crossing YELLOW and RED areas will be suspended during the activation period. Aircraft and Helicopter Special Routes will be allowed (REA and REH) inside the WHITE area, provided that the established rules for circulation in the respective area are followed. 13 PLAN FOR REDIRECTING AIR TRAFFIC FLOW IN CASE OF CONTINGENCIES This plan aims at establishing general guidelines for redirecting the air traffic flow in case of contingencies or degradations at the FIR and TMA involved, as well as constrained flows of traffic and the rerouting of flights, considering the alterations in Brazilian airspace during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. CGNA has developed a specific route database which establishes the air traffic flow among national and international adjacent FIR and among constrained FIR and degraded TMA, as well as specific instructions for avoidance of exclusion areas for the following locations: SBCF, SBBH, SBBR, SBEG, and SBSV. The route database is available at CGNA s website: 14 FLIGHT SECURITY MEASURES In addition to conforming to the rules and guidelines in the legislation, the users must comply with the flight rules established in the complete flight plan. If amendments to the flight rules are necessary, the requests must be coordinated with the ATC units. The aircraft that do not comply with the flight profile or flight rules without authorization by the ATC units or enter any of the exclusion areas without permission will suffer the MPEA and will be forced to leave the restricted airspace and/or land at the aerodromes where the Ground Control Measures (MCS) are imposed. If the use of the exclusion areas is allowed but a deviation from the approved route is necessary, it is mandatory that the pilot notifies the ATC unit immediately. 21

22 Any pilot who thinks he or she will violate the rules for the RESERVED, RESTRICTED and/or PROHIBITED airspaces without ATC authorization must keep out of the exclusion areas, contact the ATC unit, and report the situation, all the while maintaining the transponder code originally received. In case there is no contact, the pilot must call frequency 121.5MHz and set the 7600 code. The ATC units will provide assistance to the pilots. Do not forget: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ENTER A RED AREA WITHOUT ATC AUTHORIZATION. HERE ARE THE PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN A COMMUNICATION FAILURE DURING THE ACTIVATION OF THE EXCLUSION AREAS: 14.1 BEFORE TAKE-OFF If a failure of the onboard radio equipment is identified during clearance or taxiing, the pilot-in-command of an aircraft cannot continue the flight. Instead, the pilot-in-command must remain in the parking position or return to it AIRCRAFT AT DEPARTURE PHASE OUTSIDE AN EXCLUSION AREA An aircraft with radiocommunication failure at departure or when performing a Standard Instrument Departure (SID), up to the limits its established in the paragraphs below, shall: a) If departing from an aerodrome located within the lateral and/or vertical limits of a TMA, return and land at the departure aerodrome or proceed to the takeoff alternate aerodrome, as long as it is not inside an exclusion area. b) If departing from a non-controlled aerodrome, the procedures for alternation will be the same from the previous paragraph, but the limit for the decision of the pilot in command must fall within a circle with 27NM (50Km) radius, with its center on the departure aerodrome. c) In both cases squawk the transponder code 7600 and perform the other procedures related to radiocommunication failure that are provided in the legislation AIRCRAFT AT DEPARTURE PHASE INSIDE AN EXCLUSION AREA An aircraft with radiocommunication failure at departure or performing a Standard Instrument Departure (SID) may continue climbing as long as it meets all the following conditions: a) Strictly complying with what is established on the SID that is being performed. b) Proceeding to the take-off, en-route or destination alternate aerodrome, as long as they are not inside an exclusion area. c) Squawking the transponder code 7600 and performing the other procedures related to radiocommunication failure that are provided in the legislation. 22

23 14.4 AIRCRAFT CLIMBING OR EN-ROUTE An aircraft with radiocommunication failure when performing a SID after the limits established in the previous items or on cruise level shall: a) Proceed to the en-route or destination alternate aerodrome, as long as they are not inside an exclusion area. b) Squawk the transponder code 7600 and perform the other procedures related to radiocommunication failure that are provided in the legislation AIRCRAFT AT THE ARRIVAL PHASE OF FLIGHT An aircraft with radiocommunication failure and that has already started the arrival phase of flight or is still carrying out an Instrument Landing Procedure up to the lateral and/or vertical limits of a TMA shall: a) Proceed to the destination alternate aerodrome, as long as it is not inside an exclusion area. b) Squawk the transponder code 7600 and perform the other procedures related to radiocommunication failure that are provided in the legislation. c) Keep out of the WHITE AREA AIRCRAFT AT THE ARRIVAL INSIDE AN EXCLUSION AREA An aircraft with radiocommunication failure WITHIN A WHITE and/or YELLOW AREA and that has already started an Instrument Landing Procedure may continue the approach, as long as it meets all the conditions below: a) The origin aerodrome must have a PSA published by ANAC. b) The complete flight plan has been presented and approved by an ATC unit and coordinated with the APP from the TMA. c) The transponder must be installed and working properly. d) Strictly comply with what is established in the instrument landing procedure that is being executed. e) Squawk the transponder code 7600 and perform the other procedures related to radiocommunication failure provided in the legislation NEVER ENTER A RED AREA Aircraft with COMMUNICATION FAILURE and the UNIDENTIFIED aircraft will be subject to Airspace Policing Measures (MPEA) and, if necessary, may suffer severe measures, including Measures of INTERVENTION, PERSUASION AND DESTRUCTION. An aircraft that is being INTERCEPTED must immediately comply with the instructions given by the intercepting aircraft on MHz and/or interpret and respond to visual signals; if equipped with a transponder, squawk 7700, on mode 3/A, unless it receives counter orders from the appropriate ATC unit. COMAER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO INTERCEPT ANY AIRCRAFT, AT THE DISCRETION OF THE AIR DEFENSE UNIT OR OF THE AUTHORITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE AIRSPACE DEFENSE MISSION. 23
